of olay associated with it, yet it does seem strange, that while the 

 anticlinal structure pointed out to the west recurs even more strongly 

 about a mile and a half to the east, its disappearance should be accom- 

 panied at this the widest exposure of the salt, by an apparently enor- 

 mous thickness of the deposit, and at the same time the clearest evidence 

 of disturbance at the place, instead of explaining this appearance, should 

 be limited to a large downthrow fault at the outer limit of the salt to the 

 south, which it is not easy to connect in any way with the usual thick- 

 ness of the salt itself, a thickness which, even if capable of reduction 

 from the above considerations, would still remain large, probably from 

 350 to 700 feet. 



The gypsum succeeding the salt takes its usual place near Surreenda 



on the south of the exposure, and thence eastward

nummulitic limestone is much thinner than usual. Northwards of the 

 last named village, and on the opposite side of the salt valley, the gyp- 

 sum spreads out over bench-like hills lower than the nummulitic lime- 

 stone escarpment cresting the village and regularly succeeds the salt. .

place, occupying depression at the foot of the 



limestone outcrop, having near the base of the latter a well marked 



band of strong purple calcareous sandstones weathering of a very dark 



color. These are about 10 or 15 feet thick, (to judge from their broken 



outcrop); they contain black, flint} 7- pebbles, and on looking over their 



weathered surfaces some small fragments of bones were found embedded 



and one small portion of an apparently reptilian tooth. The band is 



evidently a larger development of that found on

 south of Teeree are the only kind of organic remains met with in the 

 whole of the red clay group.
